(c) Amendment as Loan Document. Each Borrower confirms and agrees that this Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document under the Financing Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement if any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Borrower under or in connection with this Amendment shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or if any Borrower fails to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement contained herein. 6. Release. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Borrowers and their Affiliates under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Borrower (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) -3- (collectively, the "Releasors") does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys' fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date arising out of, connected with or related in any way to this Amendment, the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of any Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Borrower, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or advances or the Collateral. 7. Miscellaneous. (a) Counterparts.
